What was the biggest disappointment? (2024)

>decent, only needs mods to finish developing
>was pretty crap but being cancelled with no chance of redemption makes it the biggest disappointment by far
>knew it was going to be sh*t but it still stung a little
>don't know what that is

Bannerlord was better than I expected and is pretty much better than Warband. Once my favourite mods get ported/remade I'm sinking hundreds of hours into that again.
KSP2 is whatever, the original is still fine but the sequel isn't terrible.
I knew that Victoria 3 was going to be sh*t and I don't like to be right, but I was.
TI is okay, just needs more time. It has the potential to become a solid Paradox competitor.

Viking Conquest > BL with mods >/= Warband with mods.

Bannerlord. I remember people on this site wouldn't shut the frick up about how great it was going to be, the roaches never delivered and Warband is still the better title overall. People had plenty of warning about how Paradox was developing games to know better than to get their hopes up for Vicky 3.

Bannerlord is good and has the potential to be better than warband once more mods become stable, altho its still not better than vanilla. Vicky 3 was a fricking disgrace and the other 2 are just slop, barely playable.

Bannelord and Terra Invicta are relatively good.Just some missed potential.

Vic 3. Bannerlord is a fine game that will just never live up to original. Icky vicky will get canned long before it's fixed

How's Bannerlord and Vic3 disappointments?

Bannerlord for being in production for 11 years I think, released in early beta state, updated in snail state, dev obsession with multiplayer updates, PvP, esport or other sh*t is cheery on top.
Everybody sane knew ksp 2 will be sh*t, they never show anything worth mentioning during production, I remember after two or three months of radio silence they posted screen of like 3 assets on moon, you had to be stupid to buy it on release date.
Never cared about vicky and modern paradox.
If you had any experience with long war then you knew what to expect. It's not bad game but you just have be in love with jank to like terra invicta, I'll compare it to playing to civilization on marathon setting it's so fricking slow.

>went to /vg/
>/mbg/ is dead
holy kek

Vic3 is not a bad game though, is just a tycoon game instead of strategy

for me?
bannerlord for sure

Kerbal 2. Should've been amazing. Paradox slop is never good these days, and so can hardly disappoint. Bannerlord is okay I guess. Had zero expectations on Terra Invicta but it's fairly fun, albeit clearly early access - doesn't even belong in this thread.

bannerlord easily. it's amazing that they managed to make the combat even worse fairly recently

Stormgate was a major letdown for me in the RTS genre recently, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Gates of Pyre. It looks promising.

I guess terra Invicta
The others I had no hope for but I liked the initial release of Invicta. But with each patch they make it even worse.

I wasn't disappointed in Victoria III, I knew it would be sh*t and I didn't buy
